I don’t think it’s good for employees to joke about either. I worked with a guy that was constantly half joking about getting fired, layoffs, etc. It’s a real drag to hear about all the time.

They won’t investigate child abuse but they will hatch a plot for a soft coup, a domestic terrorist kidnapping plot, or send a dozen agents to investigate a garage door rope.

Thats the wrong kind of bodily autonomy

I would say more important than the experience of the team is their ability to work in a self directed fashion. I have had interns that work very well on their own, and I have had 20+ year veterans that need regular hand holding.

It’s a very interesting approach but makes some sense. When it comes to failures the two big cohorts are “crib deaths” and “old age”. By picking something that flew twice they are able to pick a machine still early in its life cycle but sur

More proof that these platforms have zero content moderation and actually do not give a shit until somebody notices. I don’t see how such examples make their content policies and enforcement thereof highly questionable within the legal syst

I don’t work in big tech but I do work in big industry. In my experience you need to have the ability to go hard and put the team on your back when it is actually necessary. You equally need the ability to turn it off and put work back in i

That’s a good point. If it were possible to successfully “railsify” the front end that would be amazing.

That has been the most disappointing thing to me with rails. The ruby part of it is so nice. The front end has always made me feel doubtful. It’s not really the rails team fault that the frond end landscape is so tumultuous.

Most of those cities being razed over the summer have been under complete democrat control for years.

Every administration in my lifetime has done this. Taking credit for certain things and shifting blame for others is not unusual. The state of the economy is the most shining example.

This will end up teaching "news literacy" just like how the "Patriot Act" was, you know, patriotic, and the "Affordable Care Act" made health care affordable.

Just because you can bring in some infrastructure level tool to ensure that “X always happens” does not mean it is necessarily a good idea. If you have a small team, small budget, tight timeline, etc. it could serve as a major distraction w

Imposter syndrome is the gluten allergy or OCD self-diagnosis of the tech world. People should just get over themselves. You have a skillset that commands a high salary? Congrats. Get to work.

Done with them. I have been holding out on 1Password 6 for years. The fact that you can’t get the safari extension without going to 7 has had me considering moving for a while. Now it is without a doubt that I will be migrating to bit warde

These “stable coins” are more like exchange traded notes, which most investors avoid due to the risk.

Carbon taxes disproportionately hurt low income people. Rich folks will still drive their cars, fly on jets, and use tons of energy in general. Carbon taxes also make your nation less competitive in a global economy. That’s not good when en

Maybe it was flagged to death. Maybe it will be back. All I know is when these type of stories come out two things are assured. 1) Shenanigans do take place. 2) The powers that be definitely don’t like it if you notice and talk about these

You nailed it. Apple is so flexible with their morals when money is on the line you know this will be abused by some authoritarian government. They will ask apple to scan for some content, apple will say no, the government will ban apple fr

This absolutely happens. A lot depends on the company and role, but in my experience after 24-36 months you tend to become known more broadly in the company and are passed around as “person who knows about x” and these type of interactions

Right. They are giving out interest free loans to people out of the goodness of their heart. What a swell company. Wait what? They make more profit when people fuck up? Well I am shocked.

Right. Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, etc. are generally not used by well off and financially literate/prudent people. Just like gambling and lotteries. They are generally used by people that don’t need help screwing up their finances. Whil

Horrible. People ought to know enough to not use these products in the first place, but people will use it anyway. They should be required to show the long term effects before being used, much like the gore packaging used on cigarettes in s

It’s not very fast when you account for all the time and productivity wasted on getting “unstuck” all the time.

Absolutely. I can’t wait until something with better ux comes along and gets enough traction to make git a distant memory. I do not want to know the detailed inner workings of my VCS data model or 100 incongruent commands to make it work.

Masters have slaves. Which is exactly how workplaces implementing scrum view developers. Slave to the business and really the lowest level worker ant.

I realized about 5 years ago that I definitely don’t want to be doing this when I’m 50, and I don’t want the money to be the reason I keep doing it. Started getting very serious about income investing aside from my 401k/retirement acco

The money is addictive. But so is the “working on cool new shit” aspect of it. I know quite a few engineers that bounce around from place to place to scratch that itch.
